  • Post-Genome Biology of Primates

    Edición de Hiroo Imai, Yasuhiro Go, Hirohisa Hirai ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    In 2001, first reports of the human draft genome were published. Since then, genomes of many other organisms have been sequenced, including several primate species: the chimpanzee, rhesus macaque, gorilla, orangutan, gibbon, baboon, marmoset, tarsier, galago, lemur, and more recently Neanderthals. In a new era of "post-genome biology", scientists now have the vast amount of information revealed by ... Leer más

  • Monkeys, Apes, and Humans

    Primatology in Japan

    de Michael A. Huffman, Naofumi Nakagawa, Yasuhiro Go, Hiroo Imai, Masaki Tomonaga ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book introduces to the reader unfamiliar with primatology in Japan three research projects representative of the unique multidisciplinary approach carried out by scientists at Kyoto University, the country’s premier institution for primate studies. The projects are all aimed at understanding the age-old questions, where did we come from, and what makes us unique or similar to our primate ... Leer más

  • Evolution and Senses

    Opsins, Bitter Taste, and Olfaction

    de Yoshinori Shichida, Takahiro Yamashita, Hiroo Imai, Takushi Kishida ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book focuses on sensing and the evolution of animals. Using the five senses (visual, auditory, and olfactory perception, and taste and touch), animals can receive environmental stimuli and respond to them. Changes in these sensitivities might cause changes in aspects of animals’ lives such as habitat, activity timing, and diet—and vice versa. Recent advances in genome and molecular analysis ...

  • Play, Playfulness, Creativity and Innovation

    de Patrick Bateson, Paul Martin ...
    What role does playful behaviour and playful thought take in animal and human development? How does play relate to creativity and, in turn, to innovation? Unravelling the different meanings of 'play', this book focuses on non-aggressive playful play. The authors emphasise its significance for development and evolution, before examining the importance of playfulness in creativity. This discussion ... Leer más

    Extraordinary Differences between the Sexes in the Animal Kingdom

    de Daphne J. Fairbairn ...
    While we joke that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, our gender differences can't compare to those of other animals. For instance: the male garden spider spontaneously dies after mating with a female more than fifty times his size. Female cichlids must guard their eggs and larvae--even from the hungry appetites of their own partners. And male blanket octopuses employ a copulatory arm ... Leer más

    Advances in morphological and molecular methods continue to uncover new information on the origin and evolution of bats. Presenting some of the most remarkable discoveries and research involving living and fossil bats, this book explores their evolutionary history from a range of perspectives. Phylogenetic studies based on both molecular and morphological data have established a framework of ... Leer más

  • Evolution Driven by Organismal Behavior

    A Unifying View of Life, Function, Form, Mismatches and Trends

    de Rui Diogo ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book proposes a new way to think about evolution. The author carefully brings together evidence from diverse fields of science. In the process, he bridges the gaps between many different--and usually seen as conflicting--ideas to present one integrative theory named ONCE, which stands for Organic Nonoptimal Constrained Evolution. The author argues that evolution is mainly driven by the ... Leer más

  • Evolution of the House Mouse

    Edición de Miloš Macholán, Stuart J. E. Baird, Jaroslav Piálek, Pavel Munclinger ...
    Series Libro 3 - Cambridge Studies in Morphology and Molecules: New Paradigms in Evolutionary Bio
    The house mouse is the source of almost all genetic variation in laboratory mice; its genome was sequenced alongside that of humans, and it has become the model for mammalian speciation. Featuring contributions from leaders in the field, this volume provides the evolutionary context necessary to interpret these patterns and processes in the age of genomics. The topics reviewed include mouse ... Leer más

  • How the Snake Lost its Legs

    Curious Tales from the Frontier of Evo-Devo

    de Lewis I. Held, Jr ...
    How did the zebra really get its stripes, and the giraffe its long neck? What is the science behind camel humps, leopard spots, and other animal oddities? Such questions have fascinated us for centuries, but the expanding field of evo-devo (evolutionary developmental biology) is now providing, for the first time, a wealth of insights and answers. Taking inspiration from Kipling's 'Just So Stories' ... Leer más

  • Primate Locomotion

    Linking Field and Laboratory Research

    Edición de Kristiaan D'Août, Evie E. Vereecke ...
    Series series Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects
    Primate locomotion has typically been studied from two points of view. Laboratory-based researchers have focused on aspects like biomechanics and energetics, whereas field-based researchers have focused on (locomotor) behaviour and ecology. Unfortunately, to date, there is relatively little scientific exchange between both groups. With a book, which will be the result of a symposium on the 2008 ... Leer más
